Chapter 2007: Eternal Life Soul

Myria became full of caution in an instant, her battle instincts warning her something was wrong.

She had heard that Davis was able to conceal himself well, becoming a cornerstone in this world for his survivability. However, was his concealing arts that terrifying to be able to strut around her like he didn't exist in the first place?

Her Death Laws were different as they const.i.tuted the properties of destruction and annihilation. They didn't have the aspect of concealing but remained overbearing, inflicting dread in countless hearts. To conceal herself, she relied on Darkness Laws. Therefore, she couldn't understand how Davis was able to do this, engulfing oneself in death, causing even one's life aura to disappear.

Such a maneuver was easier said than done. After all, it was equal to choking oneself.

If possible, she also wanted to see through this maneuver, opening up new insights for her Death Laws.

Myria kept her eyes and sensed wide open, waiting for him to attack when she suddenly sensed it; an attack from her right.

She instantly turned to her right, death energy seeping out from her body. However, the moment she finished conjuring a defensive technique, a fist landed right on her face.

*Bang!~*

Myria slid a few meters to her right, her neck slightly turned. A hint of death energy was layered on her left cheek, protecting her from his a.s.sault that actually came from her front instead of the right but still, his fist managed to give her a deep impact, making her head tremble ever so lightly.

"That's payback for taking Ellia away from me when I knew nothing."

Davis openly snickered. He didn't think Misdirection would work, but it worked, perhaps because Myria was taken aback as she lost him. However, he didn't think of using it twice, for she would be able to produce more clues.

"Fallen Heaven, how is it?"

"No, she hasn't caught onto me yet."

Davis inwardly nodded. Just now, he had used his death energy to punch her face, which didn't harm her, but it did the job he intended.

Perhaps because he hadn't completely used Fallen Heaven's full prowess, the difference was hard to catch. Right now, he was returning the favor, matching her prowess as she did for him. However, there was no intent for him to humiliate her, only the intent to regain Ellia by making Myria fully convinced of her defeat.

And as expected, Myria's gaze became cold as she moved her lips.

"Then I'll no longer hold back."

*Shh!~*

Death energy rushed out of her body like a tsunami, filling the s.p.a.ce as they surrounded a fifty-kilometer distance, also engulfing Davis along with it.

Davis's gaze became amused. She effectively put his concealment to death, being able to cover the s.p.a.ce in a sea of death energy. However, it was fine since he just wanted to intimidate her and make her mad. He felt that it wasn't worth battling someone with Fallen Heaven who was of the mind that they were trying to save him.

He raised his hand waved.

The sea of Myria's death energy parted when met with his one and spread towards her, causing her death energy to disintegrate as if they met their nemesis.

It caused Myria's eyes to widen in shock and dread.

"How is your prowess capable of matching mine!?"

At this moment, she sensed that his prowess became equal to hers, above four levels of Peak-Level Emperor Soul Stage.

She couldn't understand. Had he been concealing his strength so ingeniously!?

However, she didn't feel that way because his Death Laws were intrinsically different at this moment. They no longer radiated a grayish-black hue but pitch-black, similar to her own yet different. From it, she could even feel that its intricacies were greater than hers and the dreadfulness also impacted her heart, but she just glimpsed at it and couldn't be too sure.

No, she refused to believe his comprehension exceeded hers.

Did his true memories return?

'No, that would trigger a backlash from the laws established here.'

She instantly denied it. After all, if there was no backlash, then there would be no point in erasing Davis's memories. That's why she felt that it was more likely to regain his memories after leaving here. Nonetheless, her expression became completely solemn.

"Death's Despair."

Abruptly, the sea of death energy she gathered combined into one single sphere that was ten centimeters in diameter. It was like a black hole, absorbing all light around it and the intricacies inside it caused Davis to squint his eyes from directly looking at it.

He raised his hand and unleashed Death Ray using Fallen Heaven's energy. The beam of death energy shot from his hand, rus.h.i.+ng towards the sphere of death when it clashed. However, it was simply engulfed by the little sphere, causing him to harrumph.

Myria let go of Death's Despair at him as it slowly moved but crossed many kilometers in an instant. Perhaps because it was devouring all light around it, Davis could only perceive it from a delay. Nonetheless, Davis didn't panic and sent two more Death Rays at it.

The second Death Ray didn't do much, but the third caused Death's Despair to crack. By then, Death's Despair was already near him.

At the same time, Davis saw a rune-like figure floating inside the sphere.

'f.u.c.k! It's a curse!'

Davis didn't know what it was, but it emitted a similar vibe as a hex. His horizons were instantly broadened, but he was forced to retreat. But at the same time, he disappeared into thin air before the sphere could explode.

"Again"

Myria warily watched as she saw her Death's Despair explode silently, disintegrating within the air, but it failed to catch its target as she couldn't sense a connection. It meant that he was not within the five-kilometer radius to be affected by this technique. He escaped by using concealment, and she didn't know how he was doing it, his techniques becoming suddenly filled with different comprehension.

'Is it possible?'

Myria considered the impossibility. She wasn't willing to wait and give him the initiative if that was the case.

"I'll force you out."

Abruptly, life laws gushed out of her body. It was completely different from her fiend-like figure, making her look like a G.o.ddess wors.h.i.+ped by billions, untouchable and sacred. The life energy spreading to her surroundings in scant yet heavy amounts made her narrow her eyes.

"There you are~"

Myria's figure disappeared, reappearing somewhere else, her figure changing to a fiend-like silhouette as she struck with her hand. Death energy simultaneously enveloped the s.p.a.ce around her palm as it struck towards an empty s.p.a.ce.

But abruptly, another strand of death energy consolidated in s.p.a.ce and shattered Myria's death energy like it was cotton, causing it to disintegrate as though they were lit up in flames.

"Hmph! You think you're so powerful?"

Davis's distorted figure was visible in the sea of life energy. Despite death concealing him, as long as there was a trace of life in him, he was going to be discovered. His concealment was perfectly countered, having met its nemesis.

He directly dispelled his concealment and attacked Myria, countering her move.

It caused Myria to stagger a step back, but she didn't let up, bringing forth another technique as she waved her hands, death energy cascading into many layers as they stacked into a terrifying spear. It absolutely looked like a killing machine, capable of utter destruction.

"Death's Otherworldly Spear~"

Myria's voice was monotonous as she launched it at him at such a close distance while Davis also readied his own technique.

"Death Fiend's Palm!"

*Bang!~*

His palm met the spear before the spear unceremoniously shattered along with the s.p.a.ce, causing Myria's eyes to tremble as she retreated two more steps, coming to a stop as she looked at his fading palm technique.

'What's going on!? How is he able to keep up with me when he should be deeply injured!?'

Myria was thoroughly shocked as well as intimidated by the innate kind of dread she was experiencing. Moreover, not only was his prowess higher, but the paleness in his face also seemed to have gone.

She didn't know that he had used Life Laws to heal his blood essence and soul essence because she ruminated that he could at most heal his blood essence, but for soul essence, that certainly wasn't possible. As far as she considered, he could only be soothing his soul essence, but she was proven wrong at this moment!

In her mind, he suddenly became as deadly as a Death Dragon!

Davis's eyes were pitch-black, having wholly engulfed himself in Fallen Heaven's death energy. His soul force was rapidly fading with each usage of a technique, but considering that he possessed soul essences gained from spirits to supply himself with energy, he wasn't going to run out of it anytime soon, at least not before Myria's soul force expires unless she has a similar ability to restore soul force.

Back then, when he first revealed Life Laws, Davis wasn't worried about exposing Fallen Heaven because he used Fallen Heaven's life energy inside but concealed them with his life energy engulfing his body. Therefore, Myria wouldn't have been able to sense Fallen Heaven's peculiar Life Laws unless she directly had a hand on his head.

But now, he couldn't be bothered to hide Fallen Heaven anymore while Myria was directly considering this possibility, although she couldn't be too sure because of the lack of information on that d.a.m.ned treasure! But with the way things are now, she had no other choice but to believe in it.

After all, as she eliminated a plethora of impossible scenarios, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth!

Realizing this, a terrifying intent erupted out of Myria while Ellia had gone completely silent.
